| looking good! Youll be cruising in no time. Whats up with the steering column swap? Was the old one a 3 spd? | |

| yes, the old one was a 3 on the tree...cool and all, but I thought a 2 speed power glide would be more practical in the long run. This way we've got tilt as well...I just need to find a nice steering wheel to replace that pig. Thinking something from Billet Specialties but my tastes are expensive  Right now I just want to get this inspection over with so I can hit the road...I'm seeing more and more classics starting to show themselves this spring and its making me CRAZY! I had spacers/lug adapters made months ago and when I got the car back and went to put them on I discovered they were made wrong so were 1/4" out and won't work. I was CHOKED! Another 2 weeks and I should have the replacements and then the wheels will be on and it'll be no turning back from there. Had a look at your pics... thats a great looking car, I really like the white walls on yours too, and the rack is SWEET...I might have to find me one of those at some point Cheers | |
